Help with blending together / smoothing how arcs into one line

Hello,

 

I've received this outline from a client and we're trying to make a smooth shape for the attached image, it's a table top which is being CNC'd out of Corian and the outline needs to be completely smooth whilst keeping to the original shape as closely as possible. As you can see where the lines connect, there's an ever-so-slight jagged point.  I've tried to remake the shape with a series of ellipses connected at their top / bottom / side points but the shape is too far away from the intention. Any idea how to smooth a line between a R355 and a R1499? 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

No. I'm asking you to actually attach the dwg file not an image. See the image below for how to attach a drawing

See the attached drawing. The red should be a bit smoother. The original one had a couple of little overlaps (see the images below) Oh and to make the circle "smooth" use the tangent to two points circle command

That's great, thank you.

 

Are you referring to the Tan, Tan, Radius circle? I've been stuck on what the radius is meant to be when trying to use that command.

Yeah that's the one.

Radius is the R value shown on the drawings
